Straight to the point: I'm very disappointed. Not even M$ dared to
introduce a file format change between minor versions, say, 1.1.5 to
1.1.6; they made (or declared) changes in major releases "only",
e.g. Word 6/97/2000. What do you think I mean when I see a .lyx file?
Not that I don't know if I'll ever be able to open it, like one of
those dreaded .doc files. When I use LyX I want the long-term
compatibility the underlying LaTeX provides. If a .lyx file is not a
.tex file, well; but if a .lyx file is not readable by the
not-latest-and-greatest minor(!) version because the file format has
changed, we're heading into the wrong direction.
Please don't get me wrong: I apppreciate the LyX project very much,
and I want to say thank you right now to all the great folks who bring
in their time and skills and creativity. Nevertheless, though I never
thought I needed to, I'll also look for alternative tex shells from
now on.
These are my \EUR{0,02}, and you know it's quite weak a currency
nowadays. I'd be very interested in your opinion; and will relyx a
little now...
